Example Sentences
- "The roads to Kung-t‘an on the frontier, and to P‘êng-shui Hien, two places about equidistant from Wu-ch‘uan, both pass Chên-nan Ch‘iao, a small market hamlet 60 li from the city."
- "One was to suppress Yang through the forthright use of military force and the other, apparently most favored by provincial officials and the gentry families in the general Kweichow-Szechwan border area, advocated the employment of political means. The latter eventually prevailed and no military moves against Yang were undertaken. Instead, he was persuaded to submit himself to judicial proceedings, and, after refusing to appear before any tribunal in Kweichow, he consented to go to P’eng-shui 彭水, Szechwan, in 1590."
